The Time for Action.

Mir. Reighsrd, the capitalist who is backing the new reduction works enter prise, has gone to California to pay a visit to friends residing on the Pacific coast. and has delegated the mspage- msut of all the preliminary arrange Iaents connected with the works to Col Geo. F. RobensOn. An abundant sup ply Ui all the Huxes required has been arranged for and the erection of the works now depends upon the amount Of ore that can be supplied. When sui ficient has been pledged to aggregate thitty tons per day, the fac, will te wired MT. ReighGrd. who will at once crier by telegraph the immediate ship ment of the plant which IS all ready to os riaced on board the cars.
 Tie proposition IS of a plain, busI- uess nature, and h knovledge of the probable supply is absolutely necessary as a basis upon winch to establish the works. CiGim owners are asked Co make a statement ut the amount Cf ore they Can supply, from one ton per nonih up Rss,.s. and when the aggregate quantity reaches thirty tons per d1y, the works will be assured. md thiIty days notice be gwen to begin for the delivery oi orc.
 There are hundreds of claims in vari- GUS stages of development, within easy reach of this city that will yield, or uught to yield, at tho lowest estimate, Cns hundred tons of ore per day. The Tucson mountains will easily produce twenty tons per day even m the present unlevelOpei condition ot the propcrnes; toe SierTitgs are certainly good for as much more; the Olive camp should con tribute an output Of from ten to twenty tOus daily; the Santa Catalina aud santa kIia mountains can themselves furnish fifty tons daily and ought certainly 10 tender ten tons under any clrcun' stances. while the districts in other DOT tions of the county, from the QliIotoss, through the Cababi, the BabOOulvaris, Arivaca and Gro BlarcO wtll send IL ores enough to keep severCl trsIns oi freigh;ers constantly On the road. There H=e surely enough ores to be had Co sup ply four or five times the amount re quired, if the owners Of the properties will take sufficient interest in their own welfare to furnish data concerning the amounts they can individually furnlsh.
 Th5 company that proposes erecting tbs reduction works do not seek to bind the mlners to supply ores at an arbitrary price to be fixed by tbemselv7s. They rsalize that the financial success ot their enterprise hinges upon their reputation frr fair and honest treatment Of those v hu supply the ore. They are satisted with the legitimate charges of fifteen dollars per ton Cor such other reBsJna- tls charge as may be fixed Uponl Tor the rrjuc!iOu of Rt least thirty tOns per dGy ald they ore Zoo sagacious business rlen 70 attempt to cut of the fountain FCu.ce of such handsome revenue by taking uofGir advantage of possible opportunity. This i0fOrms'inn in given for the benefit of those who feel that they have been ewindled Q. other reduo- ton works and could get DO satisfactory redress.
 The necessity of making prompt statements of the ore supply they csn fnini h canno. be too urgently impress ed upon mine owners for II is "now or never with them, so far As convenient reduction facilities are concerned. Let every one of them csll upon Col. Robeu- son, at his office on Pennington street. and enter into Q memorandum agree ment to furnish a given quantity of ores per month, and they will have the satisfaction of seeing huge volume of black smoke arIsing out of the stack inst north of the city limits within sixty days from this date.
